Adrianne Palicki ("Friday Night Lights") will star in the title role of "Wonder Woman," a new series pilot from David E. Kelley ("Boston Legal," "Ally McBeal," NBC's "Harry's Law").
The series pilot is a reinvention of the iconic DC Comics title in which Wonder Woman – a/k/a Diana Prince – is a vigilante crime fighter in Los Angeles but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life.
No Pressure Review: This is an odd light-hearted watch that is a bit confused whether it wants to paints its characters in a good or bad light.
Rest In Peace Review: This gripping thriller will captivate you from start to finish, leaving you pondering the boundaries between right and wrong long after the credits roll.
The Believers Review: Netflix's newest release is a thrilling ride with some emotional moments peppered in between.
Can't really say I care for this at all. Maybe if someone like Marvel made a tv series out of a more interesting character.
Dunno about you guys, but i dont think it was a terrible choice :P
As for the story itself, I told you they would modernize it and make it differnt in many ways. The only problem I have is that the description sounds bland and boring, they still need something more.
I think that she'll do just fine...but I'm not sure about the show on the whole. I still don't really see a big market for this. Who knows, with Smallville gone, maybe comic nerds will take anything to fill that gap.
So, basically this sounds like Alias....? Which was never a hit but I think it did moderately well for a little bit.
Can't really tell how exactly they're going to play this with that description, but honestly...they're seriously missing the boat if they don't gear this towards females in some way. I mean, have the superhero aspect of it that caters to those comic book nerd types. But at the same time it should be enough of a drama and done in such a way that it also appeals to females (like your early-mid 20's types maybe?) as one of the target audiences.
This could be their foot in the door to getting more females involved with superhero type movies and broadening the market for those types of movies that Hollywood loves churning out. That strong independent woman is exactly the type to draw in that demographic.
